Which of the sentences bellow is more appropriate? The idea I'm trying to convey is that this department is responsible for organizing the event in which several samba-themes are executed so that one of them can be chosen by the board of directors of the samba-school to be the samba-theme of that year.

"The Department XPTO is in charge of organizing the samba-enredo (samba-theme) choice and the [samba school] rehearsals".

"The Department XPTO is in charge of organizing the samba-enredo (samba-theme) selection and the [samba school] rehearsals".

"The Department XPTO is in charge of organizing the selection of the samba-enredo(samba-theme) and the [samba school] rehearsals"

Your second option sounds best. But what do you mean by selection? The selection of music?

The idea is that different musicians execute their sambas so that the board of directors may choose the best one, which will be the samba-theme of the school that year.
